With the original prop [4 Blade] we saw 21.5 Kts in Apalachicola with 1/2 fuel and 1/2 water 3 guys . It was bouncing off the rev limiter . They have since gone to a 3 blade with an inch more pitch and saw much higher speeds in Seattle. There was a report of over 27 MPH . In Miami with 9 people on board we got 20 Kts every time with the 4 blade, some times a little more . So, a 15 Kt cruise is not a stretch at all . I saw 1.1 GPH at 6 Kts . I saw 5-6 at 12 Kts . Max was about 12 GPH . All these numbers will change when our new prop gets here . It has surpassed our expectations . Ill do a more full set of #s when we get the correct prop . All in all its very impressive . When we get her demo ready after the shows Ill say the word . It was enjoyable to be there with John and Dave Livingston . They are great guys .
